The humiliating loss Democrats suffered this past election has created a power vacuum. Two hopefuls have tossed their names into the running for DNC leadership roles.
First is State Senator James Skoufis:
“State Sen. James Skoufis announced Saturday his candidacy to become the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. The senator, representing most of Orange County and the Catskills, touted his bipartisan appeal in an announcement video posted to his X account. “I’ve won on tough Trump turf three times. I’ve won when governors face red waves, all while bringing the Democratic big tent together and never sacrificing our values,” Skoufis said …”
No one outside the Hudson Valley knows who he is. He’s hardly a power broker in the State Senate either, much less statewide. I don’t take this seriously.
Next is noted antigunner David Hogg:
“David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 shooting at his high school in Parkland, Florida, who turned into a national anti-violence activist, has launched a bid to serve in leadership of the Democratic National Committee. Hogg, 24, announced Monday he is running to become a vice chair of the DNC, arguing he would focus on winning back young voters who have drifted from the Democratic Party to the Republicans …”
Hogg is a a walking, talking meme-making machine. I endorse his campaign on the grounds that he would destroy what is left of the party.
